Vinaigrette can be made in advance of when you will need it, then kept in the refrigerator and simple allowed to return to room temperature before serving. Be careful when adding shallots or garlic, however, as these ingredients strengthen with time.

If you are using mustard, then whisk the vinegar together with the mustard first. Then drizzle in the olive oil as you continue whisking. Adjust to taste using salt and pepper, and whisk in any additional ingredients you desire.
